Now enter Sony and their subsidiary Columbia Pictures. Recently Gary has been talking with Sony and Columbia Pictures about making movie. They have asked for a copy of William Sachs' screenplay 'MLK' that is based on Gary's song and investigation. The story of Gary's investigation has been on verge of being made into a movie several times over a number of years but each time there has been a glitch just before Gary was ready to sign a purchase agreement for his story. Now that anyone who makes movie will ultimately have to purchase a license from Sony Music because of song's unique nature to project, Sony and subsequently Columbia Pictures have found themselves with an in-house project. If Sony didn't know what it was buying when it bought Acuff-Rose you could say they were lucky or it was a coincidence; whatever truth, Gary's song and somewhat tragic story of intrigue and murder that is basis of Sachs' MLK screenplay is a movie that is their's for making. There are others who want to make this movie and still more have been trying to get it made for years but at this time it looks like Columbia Pictures is most likely suitor.

When this happens, business, and especially small business owners will be faced with their greatest opportunity - opp for radical change!

Now whether Venus or Mayans are instrumental in this or not, or as a believer of say christianity would be rightly justified in refusing to accept any planetary influences 'fact' remains that this eight-year period could be taken by smo's to re-invent themselves.

(I read somewhere that those who spot world trends have already noticed a remarkable shift where just intending to be nice to each other is no longer valid. Is this beginning to a more ethical business environment?)

And how does one re-invent oneself?

Acepting truth that on creative plane - as opposed to competitive plane - there can never be a lack of opportunity they should immediately begin to get out of all blatantly competitive endeavours.

Broadly speaking,

...if anyone is in a business which depends on beating another,

OR,

...If anyone is in a business that promises everything for as little as nothing,

OR,

If anyone is in a business where you need to move in a hurry all time,

Then you are most probably operating on competitive plane and need to get out as soon as possible. For on creative plane there is never any hurry YET you go as fast as you can. And then, nobody can beat you to what is yours because you initiate processes to create what you need and are not seeking another's property.

Small businesses make up absolute bulk of all commerce and trade so if there is going to be any kind of shift change will have to begin with flexible small business owners rather than from sluggish and slow to respond major corporations.

So here's to small business owners re-inventing themselves on creative plane and re-igniting their efforts to turn into long-term, sustainable, and truly profitable 'social entrepreneurs' ...

Joyously,
